Hi Guys, I would like to bring up for discussion how we plan to handle the EOL of Java SE 6 in July 2012 [1]?
So far my local testing shows that you can't build OFBiz using JDK 7 and with only a few months left before we have to all have upgrade (unless you fancy nasty security holes in your deployment - Ubuntu are pulling their JDK 6 packages very soon [2] ) I think we need some sort of plan. I have a couple of questions that perhaps someone might be able to answer: a) Does the changes to support Java 7 need back porting to the older releases of OFBiz as bug fixes? b) Can we setup buildbot with both Java 6 & 7 so that a branch could be established to get the bug fixes started? I am sure there is a lot more to think about!
